The Reichstag.

The German Reichstag refused to accept
Bismarck's army bill and was dissolved by an
imperial decree Few persons understand
what is meant by the Reichstag, the Landtag
and the Bundesrath. We find the following
explanation in the Baltimore american:
After the Franco Prussian war of 1871 the
four kingdoms and twenty-tw two small states
were organized into the German empire, with
equalization of representation according to
their population and importance. The En-
peror. OF course, is at the head of the govern
ment and the succession is hereditary. The
legislative features, however, very closely
resemble those of the United States. The
Bundesrath, or Federal Council, corresponds
to our Senate. 1t has 62 members, who are
appointed by the different state governments.
The Reichstag, or Diet, corresponds to our
House of Representatives. il has 397 mem
bers, who are elected by the people much as
our congressman are. That is, however, as
far as the comparison goes. The Emperor
has the power to prorogue the Relchstag,
which he did last week when il refused to
pass tie Army bill, but new election must
take place in sixty days, and new session
snust begin within ninety days. 1t may be
added that in Germany the voting population
is over nine millions although full vote is
seldom, if ever, polled. The Prussian Land
tag, which is now in session, is the state leg
islature of Prussia.

Defeat of Bismarck.


Notwithstanding the threats Of Prince Bis
marck, the Reichstag on last Friday refused
to vote the appropriation 10 Increase the army,
and Immediately an imperial message was
read by Bismarck dssolving the body, just as
he had threatened to do in the event of
non compliance with the wishes of the gov
eminent. The defeat of the government was
not unexpected. Bismarck, himself, antici-
pated it, for he had already the decree OF
dissolution by the Emperor in his desk, and
active political movements had been goiAs on
for week or two anticipating new election.
The number of seats likely to be severely con-
tested is estimated at so. OF these Sc are
held by Progresssts and fourteen by the Cen
tire party All the other seats are considered
to be firmly held The fourteen seats of the
Centre party which are imperilled are situated
in southern Germany, and were formerly held
by the National Liberals. The Government
may win them back under the pressure of pa
triotic excitement, which is running high in
the southern States, but the general opinion
continues to be against the chances of the
Governments obtaining a majority. What
ever may be the result the Government will
adhere TO its original demands.
If the coming Reichstag confirms the de-
cisions of the last one, Prince Bismarck may
ignore that body and apply to the separate
legislatures to sanction an increase of the
army. This course is indicated in the passage
of his speech in which he reminded the Reich
stag that the Emperor is always able, asking
of Prussia, to appeal with confidence TO the
Pruss;an Parliament for the means of guard
ing the Fatherland. Or he may try for
period to rule without Budget, trusting il
the end to obtain vote of indemnity. The
elections will be watched with the most in
tense interest where the contests are expected
TO turu on narrow maiorities.
